University Majors

University of California, Santa Barbara
Aquatic Biology B.S.

UCSB is one of the few universities in the country to offer an undergraduate major in aquatic biology. This major provides coursework, laboratory and field experiences in both marine and freshwater subdiscipline. UCSB is ideally located for the study of fresh and salt water environments and inhabitants. The campus' outdoor "laboratories" include the Pacific Ocean and four of the University of California's protected natural land and water reserves. These include the Carpinteria salt marsh, the West Campus sand dunes, Santa Cruz island in the Santa Barbara channel, and the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountain range. Transfer students are admitted to pre-major status until prerequisites are satisfied.
